If you're a woman who is tired of relying on glasses or contacts to correct your eyesight, you may be considering laser eye surgery as a solution to your vision problems.

About Me

My friends and family always made fun of me when I complained about my back pain. I work sitting at a desk, and she thought it was not possible to have bad back pain from sitting all day. I decided to stop ignoring the pain and letting others convince me it was all "in my head". I visited a chiropractor and he told me many of his patients sit at desks all day, and that sitting is worse for your back than standing! He not only gave me treatments that gave me great pain relief, but he even finally helped me convince my wife that I was not just exaggerating my pain. I created this blog to help spread the word that people with desk jobs can develop back pain too, and they shouldn't hesitate to seek professional help for it.
